What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which is reasonably likely to cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The defect involves structural integrity (holes/tears) which compromises the barrier function, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
